Best Answer

God [Lord] bless Africa (Xhosa) Raise high Her glory

Hear our Prayers (Zulu)

God bless us, we her children

God we ask you to protect our nation (Sesotho)

Intervene and end all conflicts

Protect us, protect our nation, our nation,

South Africa, South Africa

From the blueness of our skies, (Afrikaans)

From the depth of our seas,

Over our everlasting mountains,

Where the echoing crags resound,

Sounds the call to come together, (English)

And united we shall stand,

Let us live and strive for freedom,

In South Africa our land.
